I barely started driving for Uber and last night was my first night out I had an overall of 15 trips and my ratings are 6 5 stars out of 8 rated trips and overall rating is a 4.43 is something wrong that I'm doing this is the only job that will put food on the table for now I am going back out tonight but seeing that rating kills me..
It takes a bit of time to understand the job. The ratings will go up as you learn how things work. With so few trips under your belt ratings will fluctuate greatly but will even out over time. With only 15 trips a single marginal rating makes the overall average go down dramatically. When you get to 100-200 trips if you are still at 4.43 THEN something is wrong but until then don't sweat it.
chill out about ratings....trust me on that. I have taken a ride the other night with an uber driver with a 3.2 rating in St. Paul. He told me he's been driving for a year and half. It was a 2.2 surge but i didnt mind it cus i like to give back to my fellow drivers. I also gave him a $5 tip and a 5 star rating. So chill out dude. Uber does not care about rating as long as you don't do something serious like a safety violation or end up on the 5 O'clock news. LOL.
I thought they deactivated drivers that dipped below 4.8 (after 100 rides)? I would like to chill out about ratings as well. Uber does not care about ratings? I'm still kinda new to this.
Uber doesn't care. They always need a metric in which you are failing, to justify deactivating you if they don't like you. You will never be able to keep up with all the standards they hold you to, while making a profit at the same time. Just give up right now, find a better income.
It normally 4.5 to 4.6 depending on the ratings of others in you city they base if off others in you market.If others drivers are that low they are probably new drivers uber normally gives you 150 rides
It is also very common for your ratings to sink to dangerous levels after they have risen to VIP staus ratings wise.This regardless of the fact that the only thing you are doing diferent is providing even better and better service as time goes on.Cant prove it but I swear Uber is manipulating driver ratings and toying with you just to keep you on your toes .Doing this keeps drivers from starting to get complacent ,no longer providing 5 star service,and slacking off once thier ratings get way up there because they now feel safe. . Cant prove this paranoid theory but wouldnt be surprised if true.
Don't worry you're okay. Just do your best and things will go well for you. You'll be at 4.8 before you know it. Uber on
